Hej! Der er! from Sweden & Denmark

I couldn't have said it enough, Europe is my main go-to vacation. The last time I was here, it was about 6-8 years ago on a vacation to Spain. Returning to Europe now, ignites those same feelings of being free, being part of a culture different from your own, doing something different like walking through the cobblestones, eating gelato and speaking a different language. On this particular trip, I would say it was one of the best trips I've ever been on. Why? Well, for one, my Swedish friends happened to also be home while I came to visit. Two, I had a chance to see the country through the way the locals live. What more can I ask for? Understanding and seeing the differences between cultures or just being ingrained within what's right in front of you is priceless.

I thought this was interesting (photo above). In Sweden, you apparently have to book a slot for the time you want to use the laundry room. At first, I was like what? no way!

In the end, it's the little things like this that makes me smile and want to travel more.

My friend Sanna and I messing around her town at night.

My first night out in Halmstad. Definitely a quiet city.

A shrimp sandwich packed with eggs, veggies, lettuce w/ mayo on a simple white bread.
This hit the spot!

City Center - where did everybody go? To this day, I still wonder about that myself. I guess it is a small town so, everyone must've been eating or relaxing at home.

Spending most of our time riding the train to get here, I feel as if my experience of Stockholm was a blur. Feeling restless, we walked around the city and checked out Old Town then crossed over to see the newer part of the area. Luckily, the weather was amazing and we caught a nice sunset at the end of the day.
